Policing was an issue... we had a clutch of gendarmes, fully armed. I watched as one of them leapt to a young man with a kid on his shoulder and right in his face shouted at him to replace his mask. The young man said he'd taken it off to ask for his vegetables and the gendarme replied that he was standing over uncovered vedg and could be spreading disease. Fair point but it was most aggressive - the young man turned very white and heaven knows what the kid thought.
The youth of the town were naturally disgruntled. With no cafes or spaces to sit, they didn't get more than individually grumpy.
The middle bit of the market wasn't in use which meant there was lots of room for social distancing.
It was all very well organised, with guardians at the main entrances making sure everyone who entered was masked. Felt comfortingly safe.
Here's everyone's favorite cheese man, glad to be back - he says - and look, Nel and Pete - saw many other mates and didn't get to snap them but I did get Gillie, see below.
The dear is awaiting her chemo sessions while her heart drugs kick in. A difficult time which she is bearing incredibly well; as a nurse she knows the score and is sanguine. Much love from all. All her friends are rooting for her.
